AGES 6-14
The Renaissance Child offers educational and creative programs for kids aged 6-14.
By incorporating holistic teaching for children, we are creating the determined and confident professionals of
tomorrow – today.
Our key “inventors” programs incorporate LEGO robotics. Here, children learn to code and engineer
while gaining an understanding of gears, axels, motors, and sensors. They also learn the basics of coding, an essential
skill in fields such as medicine, space, animation, and more.
Our courses use the latest principles in STEAM educational methodology.
STEAM merges science, technology, engineering, art and math.
With us, your little one gains knowledge,
learns to apply that knowledge, and then demonstrates their advanced comprehension levels.
